Whilst away my trifid of a creeping daisy has continued to turn the medical male toilet into a room that would compete with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Its tentacles envelop the base of the toilet bowl with a touching grace, as if hugging a long time friend and enjoying the energy received within the embrace. Perhaps the daisy is a forgotten seed dropped by one of those rarely sighted flying Dodo's after visiting those Babylonian gardens, growing from the old stock of seed that has been awakened by the dearth of any real wonders in this world. The 9 Wonders of the Old World were never impressed with what took their place and it may be that I have stumbled on the beginning of them reclaiming their place in a modern world bereft of wonder due to being swallowed by science. For this reason, and the fact I spent 5 hours weeding gardens at home, I refuse to pluck it from the throne though know at some point a science loving clean freak will do so.

I can only imagine that the flying Dodo's would have brought old world seed on their way to see their cousins the Moa's. They would regularly meet to make plans for their future in the developing world though they appear to have misunderstood their role in the food chain somewhat. This is a shame for both carried the 11 secrets of old world wonder, which to date only one man has managed to attain and profit from.

Colonel Sanders.

KFD used to have large outlets in Mauritius and KFM found similar success in NZ.

It appears that in this case resource supply could not compete with consumer demand especially as both Dodo's and Moa's laid one egg every 6 months and they take 18 months to reach finger licking maturity. As such once the now flightless relics of the past were no longer able to be on the menu alternatives had to be found.

Pterodactyls were too chewy, bats too rabid, the NZ Eagle was adequate for only a short time as it too strangely disappeared, and the pigeons tasted of pork which was no good for the burgeoning Muslim community and the potential loss of revenue from that demographic.

Finally chickens were chosen to be the replacement. This was not an easy task due to them being considered Royal and Holy but Colonel Sanders had the money, the push and the politicians in his pocket so the tide was turned from worshiping chickens to the previously heretical worship of God. Shows what good marketing can achieve.

It seems weird I admit, but it's all there in the bible.

At least in my version.

So what can all this mean? That once Dodo's, Moa's and prison Daisy's were part of an archaic unholy triumvirate which until now had disappeared and was hidden from the world? Are we then to see the return of large flightless birds? Will the 9 wonders rebuild, will the 11 secrets be revealed?

How will this affect KFC sales?


I shall ponder this over a large glass of whisky whilst fanning myself with a pair of Dodo wings I recently acquired.
